United has tail up
By DAVID LEGGAT The new Trans Tours United manager (Mr Brian Hardman) received a wonderful welcoming present from his side on Wednesday evening against Blockhouse
Bay and he will be trying to instil the same sense of urgency into the team for today’s Rothmans Soccer League match against East- ■ ern Suburbs at English Park. Should United win this I game, it will leave the way I
< wide open for it to take the championship for the third • time. A win would mean it had effectively eliminated two of its closest rivals. Suburbs still leads the (league, one point clear of [Mount Wellington, but has | played one extra game. United trails Suburbs by , five points but has four i games in hand. The Woolston W.M.C. manager (Mr Terry Mann) is likely to retain the side which drew, 0-0, with Wellington Diamond United last week-end for its match against Stop Out in Wellington tomorrow. Mr Mann was pleased with his team’s performance and expressed confidence that his side, currently second from the bottom, will not drop to the regional league. Other Rothmans League matches are.— Mount Wellington v. W.D.U. (today), North Shore v. Columbus Waterside, Nelson United v. Courier Rangers, Blockhouse ‘Bay v. Hamilton (tomorrow).
